Funnier than getting sick through your eye sockets, but only slightly.

In the ten years since this movies release we have been subjected to endless sequels and spin offs of this original movie. The fact that the franchise managed to go downhill from here is quite frankly staggering.
It is all very well spoofingIn the ten years since this movies release we have been subjected to endless sequels and spin offs of this original movie. The fact that the franchise managed to go downhill from here is quite frankly staggering.
It is all very well spoofing another movie (The Hot Shots movies were largely successful at doing this) but it needs to be done with some level of intelligence. Simply copying scenes from well known movies, in this case mainly Scream and adding in a few rude jokes is not clever or funny. In fact the writers of Scary Movie seem to have completely missed the point of Scream, which was itself already a send up of horror movie conventions.

Avoid at all costs.… Expand

Even spoof movies deserve a few good jokes. For the most part the humour in Scary Movie is obvious, inept and crude. We get it Wayans Brothers and co. you've seen Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Blair Witch Project and scores ofEven spoof movies deserve a few good jokes. For the most part the humour in Scary Movie is obvious, inept and crude. We get it Wayans Brothers and co. you've seen Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Blair Witch Project and scores of other films - so why do you fail so completely in writing clever gags referencing them? There are a couple of moments I must admit that I laughed at, and the Usual Suspects homage and some of the Scream nods raise the odd smile, and Anna Farris works rather well as a goofy comedy performer. Beyond providing some mild amusement, however, Scary Movie is pretty awful. Clumsy direction, lazy performances, uneven story pacing, in addition to a quite grating overall feel of buffoonery drive the film into the ground. A Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker parody film this is not - it's simply not smart enough. It's merely a poor imitation, both of the aforementioned comedy trio's landmark spoof films, but of the films that Scary Movie itself chooses to spoof.… Expand

Some funny parts, but mostly gross and offensive. There are so many things wrong with it: male nudity, sterotyping, and other offensive scenes. A horror spoof can be as bad as a horror re-make.

I made have said that I thought Scream made scary movies better to watch again while also ruining it at the same time, I meant to say that about this film. I still have the same thought about it in Scream, but it's more clear here than ever.I made have said that I thought Scream made scary movies better to watch again while also ruining it at the same time, I meant to say that about this film. I still have the same thought about it in Scream, but it's more clear here than ever. I mean my God this is so pathetic. It is the antithesis of what I look for in any film: likeable characters, a point, being interesting overall, and visually pleasing. Not only are the actors bad in this, but they're so annoying. There's no settle moments; sure I'll laugh maybe once in a while, but I feel like shot afterwards. The point of this film is to only cash in, there's no other fricking reason for this to exist. I think this could be done well; the idea of parodying a parody is somewhat interesting, but this is the completely wrong way of doing it.… Expand

I like the idea of making fun of scary movies but this was just disgusting.

It's the worst movie I've ever seen. The plot makes no sense, is very cheesy and not funny

What so nice about this show? This movie probably is worse, stupid and boring. Its not talking about scary things. Its talking about sexual harrassment movie. It was gross and totally brain dead. If u havent watch this, dont.

As unfunny as it is trashy. You forget it's a parody of a horror movie. Get a barf bag and the sensibilities of a 12 year old.
